I don't really see the point of St. Patrick's day other than another of our nation's days to get completely smashed, but the kid's love the green day and have been planning what they will wear to church on the 17th (I wonder what the pastor will wear). We have a good old fashioned potluck after church and I thought it'd be fun to go with the theme of the day.

Monday and Tuesday she begs for orange juice for breakfast. By Friday, "I don't like orange juice!" exclaimed with big crocodile tears and with her most feel-sorry-for-me voice.

"I want water," sniff. I suppose that water is much better for her than orange juice, but it drives me nuts when she can't seem to make up her mind until after I pour a glass for her.

Last Wednesday she loved spaghetti; a week later she doesn't like the same sauce. Tacos? Don't get me started.

If you have more than one child, I know you have one just like her.

My very innovative sister mentioned in passing that she felt like making a list for her very picky kid, so I decided it was a brilliant idea for my 4 year old. I just started the list this morning, so I'll add to the list when I think of more things. I decided to leave off her daily diet staples like Goldfish crackers and Lucky Charms (Yes, I did win health advocate of the year). And I hope the list turns into a book some day (ha ha), but for now, I'm just happy to have a few things that she can't argue about. At the very least, instead of "I don't like that," I'll teach her to say, "I'm not in the mood."

You wish you were me...

Ah, the life of the "perfect" wife and mother! She dabbles in everything. She cooks and bakes, she designs and sews. She plumbs, does electrical and cement work and paints. She gardens, cans and cleans. She refinishes and re-purposes. She sings and acts. She is chronically impatient and occasionally yells; she hates exercising, no matter how fun people make it. She laughs at her own jokes. She sometimes serves up a French accent with breakfast just to make her kids roll their eyes. She gets thoroughly annoyed by clueless drivers and is often annoyed at everyone. She lives in the frozen north, but hates being cold...go figure.
Oh, crap! I've said too much. Maybe you don't really wish you were her, but don't tell her. She prefers to live in her own little bubble.
